In mid-May 2026, heavy monsoon rains caused the Ravi River to overflow, leading to significant flooding in parts of New Khan Colony, Lahore. Authorities ordered urgent evacuations and deployed rescue teams. Provincial Minister Abdul Aleem Khan visited the site to oversee relief operations, while the city’s public-works department accelerated construction of a temporary embankment and upgraded drainage infrastructure to mitigate further damage.

A new high-end residential development named Prestige Block has been announced in Park View City Lahore, located near New Khan Colony. It offers independent ownership of each unit (5 or 10 Marla plots) under a flexible 2-year installment plan, with possession granted at 50% payment. The project emphasizes gated security, modern infrastructure, and premium living standards.

To prevent recurrence of flooding in vulnerable communities including New Khan Colony, construction of a permanent Ravi River embankment is underway at full speed. The project—led by Next Properties in coordination with provincial authorities—is designed not only as a safety barrier but also to create a scenic public space for residents across Lahore.
